CAPTURE OF NEW MADRID.

The siege guns from Cairo arrived on
March II, and on the following night two re-
doubts were constructed and the guns placed
In battery within 300 yards Of the main
works of the enemy in such manner as to
command both them and the river for some
distance above. Within thirty.six hours
from the time when these massive pieces Of
ordnance were in storage in Cairo they were
ready for baptism by fire at New Madrid.
In the early morning light of the 18th the
Confederates, surprised by the sudden ap.
pearance of these works, felt of their strength
with the pickets, but were still further
amazed by the answering boom of thirty.two
Founders hurting shot and shell far within
their lines. Artillery now replied to artil-
lery, the gunboats participating, and the
cannonade continued vigorously all day.
Night came without advantage to either
side, save that one Of the Federal guns had
been disabled. But as it came it was fol-
lowed by one of these sudden and severe tenn
pests peculiar to the southwest, In which all
the passionate violence Of nature seems
to break loose. The rain fell in
torrents, the lightning only served
to make the darkness more intense.
and the roar Of thunder was incessant.

ISLAND NO. 10.

BY direction Of Gen. Halleck, Gen. Pope,
m orderto invest the place, began a move
ment with an army Of 90, 900 men from Com
nerce, Mo-, end on the 3D. Of March he az
rived in front Of New Madrid. Finding that
the town was defended by strong earthworks
armed with heavy artillery, in addition to o
number of Confederate gunboats anchored
along the shore, and that there could be no
protected advance, he ordered his troops into
camp until seige guns could be received from
Cairo. Meanwhile, Col. Plummer with
several regiments Of infantry, some cavalry
and field battery, was sent to occupy Point
Pleasant, twelve miles below on the Missouri
lbore. 1t was hazardous undertaking, be.
cause the banks along which 1t was necessary
tor the troops to pass were commanded by
The enenny's gunboats night and day. The
march was finally completed, however, and
sufficient number Of rife pits were dug in
few hours to accommodate his little force.
Guns were SO planted as to present but a
nnall mark, and when the next morning u
couple Of transports were deserted struggling
up the river with supplies for the Notifications,
they were astonished by storm of round
shot and rifle bullets that drove them back in
confusion. The blockade of the Mississippi
was thus effectually established at this point,
and no more boats afterward attempted to
pass on mission to Island No. 10.

Ict AND NO. 10.

This position, by reason Of its natural adj
vantages, was regarded as the chief barrier
10 the progress of the Federals down the
Mississippi. Although but a mile long and a
half mile wide, it Is so situated in sharp
bend of the river as to command the approach
Tor miles and to be susceptible Of the strongest
kind of Notifications. Tho town of New
Madrid, which is located on the upper or
northern portion of the bend, was also occu-
pied by Confederate force of 5000 troops
under command Of Gen. McCown. The dis
lance around the bend was about thirty miles,
whereas the distance across the peninsula
from Tiptonville below to the island did not
exceed five miles; hence 1t was calculated by
:he Confederates that, even Hsthe Federals
obtained possession OF the Missouri side Of the
river, including New Madrid and Point Pleas
ant, the communication by water to Upton
vile, and thence by land across the bend to
Island No. 10, would still remain intact.
